Avery stood up unconsciously. “What did you just say, Smith? Did you set me up with Grey? What do you mean?” Smith stared at her for a moment.” Yes but it’s over now. You should focus more on Chris.”
Avery felt a stab of annoyance at his words.” You set me up with Grey and you want me to forget about it? Why would you even do that? What was your purpose?”
Smith sighed.” You needed to get a husband, and you were being stubborn.”
“This was your reason for forcing me into a relationship. Was I so young that I had no choice in a relationship and you had to choose for me?” She yelled angrily.
Smith sighed.” Well, it’s really over now. Just forget it, and start thinking of a new life with Chris. At least, we all know that nothing actually happened between you and Grey. You wouldn’t even let him touch you. And well, it wasn’t a public marriage. So, there’s nothing to agree about. I will be going to LX corporation then,” he announced suddenly and went out of the office before Avery would say another word.
Shock kept Avery motionless for a moment. Smith was right anyways. There was nothing to be angry about as she didn’t even allow Grey to touch her. In fact, it wasn’t even considered a marriage, it was more like bondage.
But Avery was suddenly feeling even sadder. She had always accused Grey and made him feel bad at every opportunity that she got, over the fact that she thought it was his fault that they were forced to get married.
And it turned out that it was over one of Smith’s tricks. Avery felt very bad about this. What was she supposed to do at that moment?
“So, the open sale would be for three hours. We all know the rules already, right?” Linda initiated.
“Yes, we do!” The workers chorused.
Everyone was dressed in the vest they made especially for the open sale. In fact, workers that wouldn’t be leaving the company also wore their uniforms.
Grey made sure it reached every one of them.
“Common rule is that whoever got three products, either differently or the same, would get a cap. Whoever got five products would get a Vest. Whoever got ten products would get a Vest and a cap.”
Everyone whipped in delight. Everyone was prepared and excited about the sale.
“And there are other tips. We have a lot of discounts at the open sale. Well, a 50% discount for the first customer and the others would stay at a 30% discount,” Linda announced and looked over at Grey as if seeing for permission. Grey smiled and nodded at her briefly “Any worker with great convincing skill would win a MacBook with his or her name on it.”
Everyone whopped in delight, and workers screamed excitedly.
Grey looked up and saw Maria walk inside, with one of the best on. He raised skeptical brows at her as she walked nearer.
“Maria, what are you doing here?”
